Low Carbon Hospitals
Energy Saving by Recycling Summer Heat to Winter Warmth
Saving energy begins with constructing well insulated buildings and continues with finding the most economic form of Renewable Energy to create Low Carbon Buildings.
Heating and cooling loads in Hospitals
Hospitals have specific heating and cooling requirements - unlike offices they are occupied day and night, every day of the year. There is a large need for hot water for washing and kitchen facilities. With extensive use of glass in modern hospitals there can be large passive solar gains and this can lead to high cooling loads in summer as well as critical heating loads in winter. Some departments within hospitals generate heat from use of medical equipment and computers systems.
With large heating and cooling needs within modern hospitals there is a large opportunity for energy saving which can be met by careful design to reduce the carbon footprint. Interseasonal Heat Transfer can address these needs efficiently and economically by balancing the manifold needs for heating and cooling within the hospital, and between seasons.
Interseasonal Heat Transfer™ for low carbon hospitals ...
- provides reliable, low-cost on site Renewable Heat for space heating by re-cycling solar energy
- saves over 50% of carbon emissions compared to using a gas boiler for heating
- provides reliable, low-cost, on site Renewable Cooling by re-cycling winter cold
- saves over 80% of carbon emissions compared to using standard air conditioning for cooling
- provides low-cost heat source for processes using ThermalBanks as thermal stores
- reduces emissions by using re-cycled solar energy instead of burning fossil fuels
- prolongs the life of solar thermal panels by saving the heat in ThermalBanks instead of allowing them to overheat in summer
- attracts Renewable Heat Incentive cashback for use of ground source heat pumps
- attracts Renewable Heat Incentive cashback for use of solar thermal collectors
... the most attractive choice for those who aim to construct Low Carbon Hospitals
The combined benefits make IHT the most attractive renewable energy choice for offices, schools and universities, hospitals, community centres, urban and suburban housing developments, industrial developments and private houses aiming for low energy buildings.
